Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
It's not just the two guys; it's an app that folks with trucks and vans and folks with stuff that needs to be lugged from Point A to Point B can use to connect with each other. We can definitely request these two guys again, though; they were an awesome team.
I have powered through a metric crapload of the boxes at Maggie's place in the last few days--25 now sorted and clearly labeled, underfilled boxes condensed so I was able to break down 11 more, one box of stuff for Goodwill, and 18 boxes to go.
My dentist is really awesome so I'm wondering if it is something to do with my mouth and maybe the way the bridge was fabricated. The dentist spent a lot of time adjusting things and filing down my upper teeth (my molars are like jagged canyons) and the bridge and having me bite sideways and stuff. So I guess it needs more adjustment.
I know he won't make me feel bad it's just frustrating that this happened and I can't help but feel like there is something I could be doing differently.
The movers sound awesome! And all you did is a big accomplishment JZ.
This past week at mom's we got so much stuff done. I keep asking her to let me help her and she finally agreed and because it's not my stuff it was easy to get powered through. Some how I ended up with a tub of picture frames at my house that had been in her storage unit. When we were organizing her stuff we found 2 more tubs of frames (some had pictures) so I got her to agree to let me just get rid of the frames that I have. Unless there is a pictures in them she wants.
Good going with all the organizing, listing, and donating of stuff, Laura, askye, and JZ. I did a fraction at that today by unpacking two of DP's boxes of previously too small clothes, some of which he's fitting back in to. That was satisfying for both of us, I think.
And we just had a fun dinner out. It was lovely here today.
Sitting in the audience at the Lincoln Theatre with Jim and Ken, waiting for Eileen Ivers to come on stage. Ken's reading Murderbot as we wait. We've had the best day.
I felt crappy this morning but a friend wanted to go for a walk so I said a short one and somehow ended up doing 10k steps. Oops. And then I was feeling shaky and got pizza, and snarfed three slices, and that was too much so then I sat on my couch for hours. Eventually went to my friends’ house and my friend and I taught her partner and her partners mom how to play euchre. We had tried to teach the partner before, and we are hoping eventually it will stick!
Hooray for best days, and for Getting Stuff Done--that was a mighty task, JZ. Impressive!
I'm glad Ltc is feeling better.
Lugg.
This delights me. You know Lugg was Campion's manservant. Sounds sort of appropriate, other than the obvious lugging. I wonder if there's a similar company called "Schlep."
Hugs and loving thoughts to all. May you have best days!
Another big packing day. SIL and MIL coming to help. Stuff we have put off like the utility room and under the sink, both having all the toxic crap. Also another dreaded closet and the worst ever, junk drawer. I swear I am going to toss each and every key in there. I hate the number of keys I have held on to just in case! Also, random tiny parts that surely belong to something that I will regret tossing. Friend coming to take the cats tomorrow to visit with her until we find a permanent berth. BIL coming tomorrow to take everything but our bed to storage. Tuesday morning bball son coming to help DH take bed to storage.
I'll pack all my clothes and general stuff except putting aside in suitcases what I would bring on a 10 day vaca. I hope to find a boat next week, but there will have to be inspections and such so not sure on timing. In the meantime an extended stay type hotel. Still up in the air on that stuff.
Laura, so exciting and a lot of work! Go you, and I know all the pieces will be placed just as they needed to be for your marina life to start. Love following along!
We had a nice dinner date last night. Today I'm going to excavate the other three or four boxes of clothes in the closet and try to donate as much as possible. Not just DP'S stuff; I have some that can go, too.
Want to take a walk and also go to the gym for the first time in months, but I'll set how the rest goes first. Baby steps. Really, I should reverse the order of my plans, but I don't wanna.
I had a productive day yesterday and would like to get cleaning things done today.
empty dishwasher
roomba downstairs
wash dishes
change and wash bed linens
wash dog beds- in process
move some things to basement
vacuum stairs or 2nd floor
clean bathrooms - did all but sweep the floor upstairs
non-cleaning things:
knit- in process
watch at least 1 movie
lay out clothes for the week
listen to audiobook - in process
walk dogs x2 - walk #1 done
I should be able to combine things (if I get things off the floor upstairs I can roomba up there while showering, washing linens and dog beds can be happening while I am knitting and watching a movie and/or listening to audiobook) and get most of it done if I do not waste too much time online.
added things:
go to pet store
refill dog food container
